[QUOTE="technologist, post: 37229, member: 4134"] If you're using the AirPort base station as your router, you're pretty well set. For security, turn on WPA (Wi-fi Protected Access.) Get an 802.11g-compatible (Often just called "wireless G") PCI card for the desktop PC, and 802.11g-compatible CardBus adapter for the notebooks. [SIZE=1](I'm assuming you have a free PCI slot in the desktop, and CardBus slots in the notebooks.)[/SIZE] You may have to Google for more info on setting up the PC's software to connect to the AirPort network. Apple also has a lot of info at it's [URL=http://www.apple.com/support/airport/]AirPort support site[/URL] The AirPort Extreme base station with USB port will share an ordinary USB printer over the network, but it only supports OS X and Win 2000/XP.
